# Pheasant Network

> Building a DeFAI protocol that realizes an AI-powered Intent mechanism.

Pheasant Network is a cross-chain interoperability protocol that lets users bridge and swap tokens across Ethereum and Layer 2 networks using an intent-based routing mechanism.

Pheasant Network helps users and developers move assets across Ethereum and Layer 2 networks with lower fees and faster execution. Users can bridge tokens, swap across chains, or integrate cross-chain functionality into applications through an SDK. The protocol uses an AI layer to automatically optimize routing based on network conditions, reducing costs while maintaining security.

## Products

- [Pheasant Bridge](https://thegrid.id/profiles/pheasant_network): Pheasant Bridge is an intent-centric cross-chain bridge protocol that transfers ETH and USDC between Ethereum and EVM-compatible Layer 2 networks using an optimistic mechanism. Users submit bridge requests on the source chain; a relayer fulfills the request on the destination chain while a disputer monitors for fraudulent transactions. AI-powered intent logic selects cross-chain routes based on current network conditions. USDC transfers are also available via Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). Developers can embed bridging functionality into applications through the Bridge-as-a-Service (BaaS) offering, which includes an SDK and an embeddable widget. (Bridge, Live, Main Product)
- [Pheasant Swap](https://thegrid.id/profiles/pheasant_network): Pheasant Swap is a cross-chain token swap service that routes trades through integrated DEX protocols across multiple EVM-compatible networks. Users submit swap requests through the DApp, which uses PheasantSDK to generate a quoted request submitted to the PheasantNetworkSwap smart contract. The contract directs each request to the appropriate DEX protocol for execution. A relayer tracks outcomes, collecting fees on success and issuing refunds on failure. Thousands of tokens are supported. (DEX Aggregator , Live)
- [Pheasant Points](https://thegrid.id/profiles/pheasant_network): Pheasant Points is a user engagement and rewards tracking program for the Pheasant Network protocol. Points accumulate in three categories: Basic Points from bridge and swap transactions proportional to value transferred, Bonus Points for completing periodic tasks tied to usage frequency and volume thresholds, and Community Points for off-chain contributions such as social platform engagement and event participation. A questing platform presents structured tasks and partner campaigns for additional point earning. A leaderboard ranks participants, and a referral program enables users to invite others to the protocol. (Questing Platform, Live)
- [L2 Learn](https://thegrid.id/profiles/pheasant_network): L2 Learn is an educational platform covering Layer 2 blockchain technology, protocols, and related ecosystem concepts. It provides structured learning content for users seeking to understand Ethereum scaling solutions and the broader L2 ecosystem. (Education and Training, Live)

## Assets

- [PNT (PNT)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/pheasant_network): PNT is the utility token of Pheasant Network. It is planned for use in protocol fee mechanics and governance voting within the ecosystem. The roadmap designates PNT as the basis for an NFT-linked rewards system and a future community-guided governance model. (Utility)
